Can You Read My Mind (Love Theme from Superman) for Solo Guitar
Submitted by Peter on Thu, 09/23/2010 - 13:39The Chuseok 9-day break has given me lots of extra time to clown around with my video camera and shiny new guitar. It sounds pretty horrible, but I had a lot of fun practicing the piece and putting the video together:

Submitted by Peter on Fri, 08/06/2010 - 01:47August 1 - 6: I began August by listening to the Star Trek music of Jerry Goldsmith who scored five of the Star Trek films: Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek 5: The Final Frontier, Star Trek: First Contact, »
July 2010 Listening Diary!
Submitted by Peter on Sat, 07/10/2010 - 11:43July 1 - 9: I began July by listening to the end of James Horner's Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan score and the beginning of his sequel score to Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock, both recently expanced and remastered by Film Score Monthly, while on the treadmill.
June 2010 Listening Diary!
Submitted by Peter on Tue, 06/22/2010 - 14:28Oops, I almost let June pass by without a listening diary, but some unexpected free time late at night on June 22 sees me beginning this post as I cast my mind back and try to remember what I've been listening to these past few weeks.

May 2010 Listening Diary!
Submitted by Peter on Wed, 05/05/2010 - 13:22May 1 - 5: I began May with something of a change in pace. Instead of the orchestral strains of film scores, it was the the wild strains of Steve Vai's magical guitar that filled my ears as I explored his latest live CD, Where The Other Wild Things Are:
April 2010 Listening Diary! (Take 2)
Submitted by Peter on Thu, 04/15/2010 - 10:44OOps, on April 15 I accidentally deleted the original April Listening Diary post. I'll have to post what I can from memory. Funny, this is only the third month I have kept a listening diary, but the loss of the details troubles me greatly. Memo to self: Be more careful when deleting spammers and their posts. Bad spammers!
From memory:
March 2010 Listening Diary!
Submitted by Peter on Sun, 03/07/2010 - 13:54Sunday, March 7: I'm a little behind so let me go back in time a few days and start from there: On March 4 I listened to Brian Tyler's The Killing Room for the first time all the way through (while riding my exercise bike) and I was quite impressed with it. Especially the string arpeggio motive that pops up in a few of the tracks. That's one score I definitely need to get to know better.
February 2010 Listening Diary!
Submitted by Peter on Sun, 02/28/2010 - 12:27Monday, February 1: It was a John Williams day in my apartment as his newly released score for the 1976 terrorism thriller Black Sunday graced my ears for the first time. I was already familiar with the main themes of the score from the suit rerecorded by Silva Screen Records, but this was my first time to hear the man himself conducting it. As much as I love the the previously available suite, there's nothing like hearing Williams conducting Williams. I also listened to his Amazing Stories score for the pilot episode "The Mission."
